I had a gen 2 8" mpx a few years ago but sold it, regretted it the moment funds changed hands.
Just ordered a new MPX with a 6" barrel and a fake suppressor. Don't care for that, but prefer a slightly longer barrel than the 4.5". Comes with sights and 4 mags, which is nice. 3 questions. 1. Looks like sig has changed the mags to 35 rd and the look different, are they are reliable as the old lancer made ones? 2. How are is it going to be to remove the fake suppressor? I'm assuming it's left hand threads, so righty loosey? 3. I have an Obsidian 9, if I get the fake suppressor off, I assume I can just get an endcap of the correct pitch and thread it on? Thanks Hopefully get to pick it up sometime this week. |

The mags work great. That’s all I got for ya.

Mags seem fine although I don’t have a ton of time with mine. I haven’t seen a bad review yet.
Should be LH threads. I can’t find the specific model you’re talking about, but so long as it’s factory Sig, I don’t know why they’d change it up. If you’re DT the can, you’ll need a taper shoulder adapter unless the DT module you’re getting is made for tapered barrels. Most aren’t. ILWT seems to get the most recs and the one I have worked perfect. |

Thanks. I'll have to look about the taper adapter.
This is the model. It appears to be some kind of custom, I assume from sig for some distributor. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/411561112/kroll+exclusive+sig+sauer+mpx+9mm+pistol+6.5in+barrel+3+mags |

The problem with LH threads on the muzzle is that as you try and tighten the can onto the gun, you’re simultaneously loosening the end cap off of the can. It’s a pain in the rear. If you are dedicating the can to the gun you can loktite it. If not, accuracy will be piss, you may damage your can, and you’ll never be happy.
Strongly recommend a three lug adapter on the barrel, with a matching end cap on your can. |

Delivery hopefully for Saturday. I'm going to end up getting another Obsidian 9 to dedicate to the mpx most likely. |

That's excellent! Was there the original SIG box and label with the build date? That appears to be the latest ejector design.

Ill try to look at the build date this weekend. I'm trying to resist the urge to piss $200 I don't have away and fill out a form 1 this weekend. |

This is just my opinion, but there are enough benefits at this time to make it worth keeping it at a pistol. That may change, but for the time being, that's what I'd do. There are a number of brace options, but HERE is one.

Can find the original on their webstore again and a new version with the button to fold it. |

Griff View Quote The sba3 setup i have works good as intended and other ways really good. I like using a vertical foregrip due to the way i broke my left wrist as a teenager. Thats really the only reason i want to sbr it |

Did sig ever offer a factory 10" Mlok rail? I don't really like the looks of the MI and would like just a little more rail when the suppressor is attached.

What do yall think of the lancer handguards? I dont care for the look of carbon fiber but it might help some of the front end heaviness
|
|

I heard the factory muzzle device is a bitch to get off. I assume yours wasn't too bad because of the fake suppressor?
|
|
I dont think this is a brains type of operation.

My Octane 9 on it was unusable but a Gemtech MK9K was fantastic and had next to no blowback. |

They sell an adjustable gas block, which in my experience has transformed my overgassed MPX. |

Did you have to have your gas port opened up to use it? To help reduce the gas, do I want to go down in port size or up with the adjustable gas block? |

A smaller gas port will reduce the amount of gas that is put back into the system and make it less gassy. |
